1. Myocardial metabolism in experimental infarction and heart failure
Abstract : Abstract The heart is an organ heavily dependent on exogenous lipids for the oxidative production of adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) and therefore maintenance of normal cellular energy homeostasis. However, high energy flux organs such as the heart must closely match lipid import and utilization or otherwise lipids will accumulate in the cardiomyocytes. READ MORE

2. Myocardial creatine metabolism in experimental infarction and heart failure
Abstract : The failing heart is characterized by changes in structure, function and metabolism. All these changes are usually defined as pathologic remodelling. An important part of this negative remodelling process is disturbances in the myocardial energy metabolism. READ MORE

3. Women, diabetes and coronary heart disease
Abstract : Aims: The aim of the present study was to explore the reason why women with diabetes lose the female protection against MI, by investigating cardiovascular risk factors, markers of inflammation, early predictors for future development of diabetes and clinical manifestations in diabetes and coronary heart disease.Subjects and methods: Women with (n=29), and without diabetes (DM) (n=64), hospitalised with a smyocardial infarction ( MI) 1994-96, were compared with DM-women without MI (n=46) and healthy controls (n=125).

4. Socioeconomic status and myocardial infarction : influence on secondary prevention and prognosis
Abstract : Background and Aims: In the wealth of research undertaken on myocardial infarctions (MIs), secondary prevention is less well studied. Incidence and death from MI have declined substantially in the past decades due to the identification of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, methods to assess risk in the general population, development of efficient therapies that modify risk factor levels, and the introduction of revascularization therapies used in the acute phase of a MI.

5. Evaluation of risk factor modification management in patients with coronary heart disease and patients´ experiences of secondary prevention
Abstract : Aim: To evaluate management of risk factor modification among patients suffering from coronary heart disease and to explore patients experiences of secondary prevention. Methods: After establishing a secondary prevention programme, patients were offered follow-up visits to a nurse, one year after the coronary event for evaluation of various risk factors associated with recurrence (I, II).
